Hen night challenges and dares seem to be an absolute must these days. They are almost as commonplace on a hen night as several bottles of wine! However, most people actually buy card sets of hen night challenges when there is absolutely no need to. Companies make a killing on selling expensive card sets when you can in fact buy them for a really reasonable price and still enjoy yourselves! If you are a little creative you could even make up the challenges and dares yourself.

If you are considering the latter option then you may need a good place to start. Without looking at a hen night challenges and dares set, you may have a little trouble getting started but the ideas for dares as outlined below will get you started. There are low and high risk hen night challenges and dares there so you can choose the ones that best suit you for inspiration:

Low Risk

• Sing an embarrassing song of your friends’ choice on karaoke
• Kiss one of your girlfriends, with tongues or without. The point is that you know and trust them, hence the low risk!
• Walk out of the toilet with your skirt tucked in your pants and keep it that way for at least one circuit of the club.
• Ask a guy for his phone number and then give him the rejection hotline. If you do like him then feel free to give him your own number. The point is that you have to ask.
• Ask a guy that you do not know to buy you a drink in a bar or club. Please note that this is only low risk if you see your drink poured yourself for obvious reasons. Do not risk personal harm by letting your guard drop.

High Risk

• Approach a guy in a club and ask for a kiss. Make sure that he’s single first because you do not want to start a fight.
• Walk up to a married couple and begin to ask them about their sex life, as if you want their advice. Do not be afraid to get really embarrassing.
• Dance up to an ugly guy and start to grind up against him for a minute before walking off.
• Call the mother of the bride or groom and act hysterical, screaming that the wedding is cancelled because he or she has gotten cold feet. This is a high risk dare because it could all go horribly wrong so make sure that the bride AND groom know about this and are fine about it.

So there are some ideas for hen night challenges and dares for you! All you have to do is draw a little inspiration from them and the world of hen night dares is your oyster.

Two classic games that are traditionally played during most hen nights are Truth or Dare and Challenge. The premise of both games is very similar. The only real difference between the two games is one is based on both dares and questions and the other is simply dares. When planning a last night of freedom for the bride and you want to play hen night games dares are some of the more popular activities you can participate in. They are also some of the most fun. They can be funny and sometimes even embarrassing but will leave a lasting impression on all who attend the party.

Truth or Dare is a game that is played where one person starts off. They choose another person in the group and ask then if they prefer to choose a truth or a dare. If the other person chooses truth, the asker comes up with a question the person has to answer honestly. This can be a great way to get to know some of the people in the group. If the person answers that she would prefer to do a dare, then the asker comes up with a task the person has to follow through with. This can be something funny or embarrassing or risqué. The person then has to comply and do it. Once completed, it is their turn to choose someone to ask, “Truth or Dare”? Challenge is the same game but without using any questions.

But what if the person chosen does not want to answer the question or do the dare? When you play hen night games dares are a big part of it but there are some who may not feel comfortable doing a particular dare. Perhaps they feel like it would be too embarrassing to do. In that case, the person has to pay the consequences. Before the start of the game, everyone should come up with two or three choices for consequences in case someone opts out of the dare or challenge. Most people decide on doing something like having to take a particular shot which is usually something strong or perhaps pay a small fine to the bride. Another good punishment is to make the person stand up and cluck like a chicken. If they opt out of the truth, dare or challenge, the asker gets to choose the punishment.

When you play hen night games dares are a great part of the experience. This is especially true if you have a group who is going out on the town or to visit their favorite club or bar. The more adventurous the group, the more fun this game can be. It is important to be creative and imaginative when coming up with dares. Make someone chug a beer, have them kiss a stranger, make them sing a Broadway tune to the entire venue or do some type of dance. The results can be hilarious for both the person doing the dare and those who are watching. Truth or Dare and Challenge are great games to play at hen night for all to enjoy.
